showrunners Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez about Hulu’s Australian animated comedy. The duo discussed trusting your creative partners and exposing the world to Australian concepts. All eight episodes of“It follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his titular not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto,” reads the synopsis.
Since we are friends for so many years, having been working together since college, if Benji changes something that I’ve written, there’s no part of me that’s defensive at this point. And I think vice versa. Because of that, it allows us to really focus on the result rather than how we’re going to divvy up the work and who is going to do this and being uptight about that. A lot of time we don’t even remember who wrote what, at this point. Truly.
So the jacket then became that mountain out of a molehill excuse to not have to think about those things. That felt very real to me just on a visceral level that when someone’s like, “Hey, I’ve really got to talk to you about this thing that’s extremely painful and traumatic,” you might be like, “Actually I’ve got to go do anything else right now.” That’s where that episode came from.
But no, we were excited by all the Australian stuff because it’s one of those things of like … we’ve been in so many writers’ rooms now on American sitcoms and animated shows where it’s just, you come up with an idea anddid it, you know? American ideas have been done over and over. How many times have you done the homecoming dance or prom or this or that.
